Woohoo! Finally got time to get the machine together and moving around. What a beast. I have a shapeoko 1 and I have to say this is one crazy upgrade.
First run at hello world went smoothly. I found the tutorial easy to follow and really liked that the fill is a second job so I could play with having the machine run multiple jobs on the same part. It looks like I may have some adjustments to make since i stopped marking the paper correctly near the end. Maybe the issue is in the cardboard or my printed attachment. I guess I should get some measuring tools out and actually be a proper builder to find out…
I decided I might as well try the hello world again and see how repeatable things are. I lowered the Z slightly and things look much better. Whatever is out must not be out by much.
Very happy with the S3 so far. Great job to the design team, and a HUGE thanks to the people commenting on the forums. Every issue I hit along the way was answered somewhere here already with a little searching. Keep up the good work!
